HELP! my puppy just threw up!!

I have an american eskimo, Cassidy, and she just threw up. It looked like her food and milk. I have been mixing in a little bit of milk w/ her food (purina puppy food) b/c her former owner said to. She is 10 weeks (will be 11 weeks on thur.) so i gave her a little more food w/out milk and I am not planning on putting milk in her food anymore b/c I've read that it doesn't settle well w/ some dogs. Will not feeding her milk anymore help? She's fine now but it scared me a little. Any advise is greatly welcomed!! Thanks in advance!

Dogs throw up, you don't have to be alarmed unless it continues and you notice the dog isn't feeling well. She might have eaten too fast or too much.. could be a heap of things. Unless she isn't being herself and the vometing continues (continues meaning that if she keeps throwing up over and over again withing a couple hours) she'll be fine :) don't worry just pull her ears back :)

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.

I agree with the original poster and wouldn't be alarmed unless it happens frequently, after all she is just a puppy and it could have been a coilicky thing. I wouldn't mix anything with the food if she's eating it fine dry, she's plenty old enough now. That being said I must fulfil my duties as a healthy food advocate and recommend that you look at Wiley's list and choose one of the higher graded foods for your baby.

Also, wanted to add that I've heard somewhere that you can put a little water in there, as it helps with the dry food going down. I, myself, don't do it, but plan on checking with my vet next time I go in.

water or infant formula can be used, but milk isn't the best chioce to blend the food with. It's not natural and they can easily get stomache aches.. The only time I would give my animals any milk would be if they swallowed something piosonous. Milk gives really bad gas as well.. believe me my Luke once got a hold of a carton of milk... Both my boyfriend and I were seriously considering going out to buy gas masks..

I second the gas problem lol! If you're worried about it "going down" Merrick's line of dry food is specially formulated that when you add a little hot water it forms a gravy on the kibble thus making it easier to go down the hatch as well is making it more appetizing to the pooch. Like I said if she's eating the food fine without it being softened then I wouldn't really worry about it.

Use cottage cheese instead of milk. I think your dog is swallowing the food whole and needs to learn to chew it. I use cottage cheese to help clump the kibble together so that my bulldog chews it and I would suppose the cottage cheese helps heavy the bones. But also, i don't feed Purina either.
